Project 3 A sense of place




Burwood library is the gathering place for the local community, centralised by schools, shops, café and train station, it is a mutual ground for children, students, readers, elderly and library goers. By revitalizing the neglected garden space with multipurpose street furniture, the goal of the design is provide furniture that facilitates eating, casual study or group study, relaxing and reading. While inside the library eating and talking are discouraged, the outside area provides a place for eating and group discussion.   For those that want to enjoy the fresh air and sun, lounging, napping and relaxing can also be done. Multilevel seating heights allow children and adults to sit comfortably and allow users to determine how they want to sit. The sitting is modular and can different configurations, that can facilitate different needs.
Made from composite wood, which is resistant o sun and water so it maintains its colour for years and year. There is no need to paint, stain or seal because its resist old, mildew and warping, uneven or insect damage. The offcuts from the bench is used a planter and used as a table top.
